I'm looking at an Acura zdx or a Honda Crosstour. I already know the difference Luxury opposed to not luxury. Is the Acura worth the higher payment.

My buddy has a Honda Accord Crosstour. It's a nice awd crossover and you can dress it up pretty nice.

The only thing weird is he has to wait a couple of seconds for it to boot up before starting it. Nut he doesn't seem to mind it. They look good in white. They have a big butt like an X6 beemer. The honda quality is evident in it.

One thing to consider is the cost of maintenance required for keeping the warranty valid. I owned a 89 Acura Legend and the required maintenance was very expensive. Also a co-worker drove me to pick up my car at the dealer after one of its scheduled maintenance services and his Honda's headlight was burned out. When we got to the Acura service dept the price the quoted him to replace the bulb was at least double what the Honda dealer would charge.

My buddy's warranty is 200,000 km. I think that is about 125000 miles.

Oh man Rick!!! You should have gone to prowlerdan for your purchase. There should be a section for members who are dealers. You can always trust a POA member for good advice and purchases.

I bought a 2010. This thing is loaded. And they took my Saturn astra in trade gave me 10K. I was going to wait for the 2013 ZDX but seems there isn't much difference.

Beautiful car, just as an FYI their is a $3000 rebate on them right now and great financing if you choose to do so! As I said if you want me to review the numbers on the ZDX for you just let me know! The tech in our product is phenomenal, enjoy it!!

It went to $3000 on 7/10 and is good through 9/4. Did you buy a Tech pkg. or an Advance pkg?

The discount should have been quite large! At least 5k.

There is so much stuff on this car/truck. But after having a Saturn Astra for 4 years its nice to be back driving in a luxury vehicle. The body is spotless as is the interior. And it still has that new car smell.

There isn't one. I just thought it would be a good idea to have one. But maybe it's not doable.
